Sweater weather | Pittsburgh family photographer

  • Posted By admin
  • on February 26,2020

Family: Where life begins and love never ends.

I personally am more of a beach girl however, I really do love our Pittsburgh Fall. It’s fun being a 4 season state. That is when we actually get the 4 seasons – ha. I do love good Sweater weather.

I love this family so much and have had the pleasure of photographing them since their little girl was 1 year old. We choose Round Hill Farm as a location. If you are looking for a beautiful fun place to walk around solo or with the kids it’s a must-visit!

Pamela Salai Photography is a Pittsburgh Child Photographer also specializing in maternity, family in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas including but not limited to McCandles Township, Wexford, Franklin Township, Sewickley Township, Butler County, Cranberry Township, and Washington County.

 If you would like more information regarding booking a custom session with Pamela Salai Photography, please click here or contact me directly by clicking on the contact button at the top of my website or email me at pamelasalaiphoto@gmail.com.

Often I am asked about the client wardrobe. I  provide a curated wardrobe for my child clients and maternity sessions. Often these outfits can be seen throughout my photos. When you book your session I will further discuss these options with you along with the stylist options I provide.

I use natural light and organic settings to create custom magic for each session.

The art if whimsy a light and airy workshop | Pittsburgh studio workshop

  • Posted By admin

CLICK HERE

I absolutely adore capturing portraits during the ‘golden hour’ (or, a magic hour! as I like to call it). Some favorite images are created during that hour before sunset when the Earth is positively illuminated in beautiful light. However, when I am not outside you can find me in my light and airy studio where I love to tell a different kind of story. My signature look in the studio is at most times whimsical. However, it also referred to lifestyle in a cute, playful way.

 In addition to being a natural light photographer, I am a free spirit with a wanderlusting soul.  My family is my everything. I am happily married to my husband over a decade now, Dave. We have three delightful and fun-loving children (who I use as my muses from time to time): our son, Brody, and twin girls, Harlow and Gabriella.

Description:

A dream coming true… after almost 8 years of shooting my passion for creating and living with my head in the clouds is coming true in my first ever solo workshop 

Get ready to crack open a can of light and airy cause I am about to bring it to you full force! 

I would like to invite you to my second home (ok, or sure feels like it at times) my Studio 415 Pgh where I create all of my white and pure magical images. 

My studio is broken up into a few parts. My main shooting space is a white floor to ceiling space with one main window of light and other areas of light that pour in from other surrounding areas.

I would love to take you on an adventure down my rabbit hole of magic teaching my shooting techniques in my very own studio. 

Topics will be included and not limited to:

•      Creating Whimsy in an image

•      How to create pure clean white images

•      Taking your images to the next level of magic 

•      Styling for clean pure images

•      Posing tips

•      Magical and simple sets

•      Exclusive studio preset release 

•      A private group with CC from me to help you find the best techniques to find the whimsy in your images

•      Afterimage edit. I will take 2 images that you took at the workshop and create a video for you so you can see how I take a SOOC shot to the final image.  

•      Exclusive presets

•      exclusive PDF including, props, links, studio tips, shooting tips, the equipment I use and before and after images.

The workshop will also include multiple models, sets, props, shooting (in all-natural light), posing tips and so much more!

This will be a workshop FULL of educational knowledge that will take your images to the next level.

About accordion album :

Albums are a great way to display magical memories from your sessions. This one is great because it’s a perfect purse size.
Let’s be honest…How many times have you booked a session, had amazing photos , downloaded them to your computer and then never printed them. 
Even if you have a large home, you may not have any more wall space to wall paper your home in more photos. In addition, not every images is wall worthy, however, they are still part of the story and having them in an album is a great way to reminisce those memories.
